Homemade Crispy Potato Chips and 10 Best Seasoning Ideas
Hi Emma,
Snacks can really put you over your food budget, especially if everyone in the family
grabbed a package. I stopped buying crisps ever since my sister-
These homemade potato chips are perfectly crispy and so delicious that even my 82
years old grandmother can't stop munching on them! They are highly addictive and
make you eat more than a handful so I suggest you pre-
Best Homemade Potato Chip Seasoning Ideas
1. As for potato chip seasoning ideas, I usually keep it old school and flavor with only sea salt and vinegar. Sometimes I also add a bit of red chili powder and cayenne pepper to kick up the heat.
2. Just like your children, my kids love anything BBQ flavored so I use Neely's BBQ seasoning. If you prefer to make your own bbq seasoning mixture, here's what you do – combine small amounts of paprika, garlic salt, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, ground mustard and sugar.
3. If you want to make chicken and thyme flavored chips, crush a chicken bouillon cube, add a little hot chili powder, dried thyme and a dash of onion salt.
4. For hot garlic seasoning, saute a little chopped garlic and add chopped parsley, freshly ground black pepper and salt to butter or margarine. You can also use it to flavor homemade popcorn.
5. If you are a huge fan of cajun style potato chips, combine paprika, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, cayenne powder, oregano and thyme. Your taste buds will run wild!
6. Love tomatoey chips? Then create your own tomato seasoning by mixing tomato powder, sea salt, sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, vinegar powder with parsley powder.
7. For something really simple yet yummy, put freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a tiny bit of salt and pepper on your freshly fried potato chips.
8. If you have not tried chocolate dipped potato chips, you don't know what you are missing! Melt semisweet chocolate in the microwave, dip half of the chip and sprinkle a little salt to make chocolate covered potato chips.
9. If you are in the mood for something Japanese, sprinkle ground nori (seaweed), toasted sesame seed, garlic salt and wasabi powder.
10. My grandmother's favorite potato chip seasoning mix – polenta or semolina, paprika and chili powder.
Note: How much to add depends on how much you like the flavor being added, so it's best to sample a crisp every now and then, and adjust according to your taste.
Homemade Crispy Potato Chip Recipe
Ingredients:
6 large russet potatoes
vegetable oil for deep frying (I use canola oil; you can also use peanut oil)
1 teaspoon sea salt
How to make deep fried potato chips at home
1. Wash, scrub and peel the potatoes (leave skin on, if you want extra dietary fiber).
2. Using a very sharp knife, cut potatoes into very thin slices (about ¼ -
You can also use a mandolin or blade attachment of food processor to slice potato paper thin.
3. Remove, rinse a few times (water must be clear in the last rinse) and let drain completely. Then lay flat on kitchen towels and pat dry.
4. Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large saucepan until very hot (350˚F).
5. Gently lower potato slices into hot oil in small batches and deep fry for 3 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
6. Remove with a slotted spoon, shake off excess oil and drain on paper towels to remove the rest of the oil. Then transfer them to a big bowl.
7. Dust with salt (or add your favorite chip seasonings) immediately while the chips are still hot so that the flavor adheres to the hot oil.

The entire family loves salty treats and my kids can polish off huge bags of Lays hot & spicy barbecue flavored potato chips during our weekly movie nights. It's getting somewhat expensive to buy crisps every week so I'm asking for a homemade crispy potato chip recipe. I would be thrilled if you could also suggest a few seasoning ideas for potato chips. A big thank you! – Emma, Ontario.
